Swap this list for whatever your class is learning about right now — farm animals, shapes, or the days of the week — the same approach works for any early-learner word set. Keep answers short and clues simple, and paste the whole list in at once with the bulk-paste option, or add clues one at a time. Print one copy per student with answers hidden, then flip on Show answers and print a second copy for yourself as an answer key. No login, no student accounts, and nothing about your class gets collected or stored.
